THE STORY

Interplanetary relations have never been more exciting! The first in a funny, romantic YA sci-fi series.

Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.

Handpicked
to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future
is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll
have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every
journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.

Still,
Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs
have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx
couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no
human boy is this good-looking.

But when Cara's classmates get
swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't
safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police
officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.

Cara finds support
in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her
only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the
truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly
consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just
for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.

Futeristic books are quickly becoming one of my favourite YA genres, and Melissa's book just throws in another incredible book into the mix. Not only does Alienated have an original, unique and powerful plot behind it, it also has one of the most gorgeous covers and a hugely great potential to be one of the hottest YA Fantasy picks of 2014. I seriously can't wait for it.
